A member asked:
Can you have chronic post-nasal drip without a blocked nose (i.e. breathing through nose fine). throat clearing and phlegmy too. might be reflux...?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes: Post nasal drip doesn't necessarily have anything to do with nasal blockage. And it can cause phlegm and throat clearing. Reflux can sometimes do similar things but most often while lying down. Try to sleep propped up to discourage this.

How can I tell if my throat clearing (phlegm) is due to reflux or post nasal drip? I have GERD but I take a PPI & I thought it was controlled.
Have been diagnosed with GERD, the possible silent reflux kind, where acid comes all the way back up. Not as much heartburn but more clearing and irritated throat. Also have chronic sinus nasal and ear irritation. Could the acid cause that?
